The Truth of History Seen through Heaven's Providence and Japan's Mission

Distinguished guests from Japan and abroad, all members, globally, watching the broadcast to celebrate this day, and especially Family Federation blessed families from Kanagawa Prefecture, it is nice to see you all. I heard that Kanagawa Prefecture has especially opened the gate to the beginning of a new Japan. Today, I would like to speak about this new era in "The Truth of History Seen through Heaven's Providence and Japan's Mission." When looking at all the phenomena occurring around the world today, we find no hope. What that means is that people cannot bring an end to these problems. There is no solution to today's problems if we do not know the original Creator, God, the absolute God. God created all things in heaven and on earth and then created a man and a woman, who would become humankind's first ancestors. Unlike all other beings, God gave people responsibility over their growing period. They should have matured with a heart of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience toward God, the Creator. However, Adam and Eve developed greed during that process. They began to look toward themselves. This led to today's fallen humankind. The Fall began from self-centeredness, so today the nations of the world, large and small, think first of their own benefit. The conclusion is that they cannot unite. Therefore, today I would like to explain our Creator's dream, our Heavenly Parent's dream.

God wished for Adam and Eve to complete the growth period and become the True Parents of humankind, from whom humankind could begin. However, because people did not fulfill their responsibilities, God had to wait. That was the providence of salvation and restoration through indemnity centered on people. In summary, a couple who can become the perfected True Parents must come from within humankind. Therefore, Heaven, through the Israelites, after the long period of four thousand years, sent the only son, Jesus Christ, whom God could call "My son!" However, Jesus Christ could not be alone. A man alone cannot become a parent. When Jesus took the way of the cross, he said, "I will return." He said he would return and clearly said he would hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. Thus, the essence of Christianity is to find the only daughter of God. However, Christianity began with the earnest wish of waiting for the returning Lord without knowing the essence of the providence. From the Italian Peninsula, Christianity spread across Europe and reached Britain. Great Britain is an island nation. The Atlantic Civilization Era was realized through Britain, and Christianity spread to the world. In other words, Christians did not know Jesus' essence. They did not know what Heaven wished for. Christianity spread throughout the world, but eventually nations began to think only of their own benefit.

An economic revival began. Then, the focus of humankind's ultimate purpose shifted from just living and eating well to knowing God and becoming happy in the eternal world. Looking at the ancient Egyptian civilizations or those on the Iberian Peninsula, people then lived for and pursued happiness for future generations. I will say this again: If central figures or nations Heaven has chosen do not fulfill their responsibilities, Heaven will not use them again. Instead Heaven will elevate a new nation, which can begin a new providence. That new nation is what is today Korea, on the Korean Peninsula. I was born in 1943. Korea was liberated in 1945 and the Korean War began in 1950. A remote cause of that war was Japan. Island nations geopolitically wish to encroach on peninsulas or continents. However it is difficult to select a method of doing this that Heaven can bless. This is because the benefit of one's own nation was the beginning point of it all; it began with self-centered greed.

Regardless, Heaven is alive and the providence progressed. After six thousand years, in Korea, Heaven found and elevated the only daughter of God and the only son of God and through them realized the ideal of True Parents. Conversely, the Korean War was a battle between democracy and communism. Believers in Democracy and in Communism, siblings, began to fight on the Korean Peninsula. Russia and China were already communist and supported North Korea. Democracy in South Korea was unprepared when the war began, but as if by a miracle, the UN entered the war to help defenseless South Korea. This was Heaven's protection and blessing. Think about how much Heaven worked for this moment. Because it was in the midst of this situation, Japan revived economically due to the Korean War. Heaven gave its blessing. If you receive Heaven's blessing, there is also responsibility. True Parents blessed Japan as the Eve nation. Thus, the era of the Pacific Rim Civilization began centered on Korea, Japan, and the US. Unlike the past Atlantic Civilization Era, the Pacific Rim Civilization centered on True Parents is to unite humankind with the heart of filial piety toward Heaven. Japan was blessed as the mother nation to be central in fulfilling that responsibility. Even in the world, a mother invests all her devotion for her child's success and happiness. The mother's mission is to give unconditionally to fulfill God's dream, humankinds' wish, and True Parents' dream in front of the 7.4 billion people of the world. When it is in that position, your nation can receive forgiveness for its past wrongdoings. Sensible people must recognize their wrongdoings. You must recognize them so you can start anew. I wish to say this to the politicians of this nation: You must know the truths of history.

I pray that this nation can be a mother nation to the world with no scratches or dirt and become the Japan that does its best. The peace and happiness that you desire will increase the more you give. Just because you alone are happy does not mean that happiness is eternal. For it to grow, you must share it. In the preprogram, blessed families in our second-generation realm gave reports. They know True Parents and know True Parents' teachings. They have testified that they are not just second-generation members living for Japan, but global citizens who love and live for the world. If these second-generation members fill and then overflow this nation and go to the almost two hundred other nations around the world and fill them, without a doubt, the world's 7.4 billion people can realize the dream of one human family that attends God. Especially, I hope Kanagawa Prefecture, which has begun a new history, can set off and become the center of the world.

We are speaking of family perfection. Japan is the mother nation. Korea is the father nation. The father and mother must unite in love for their children to be happy. Then you can cleanse the troubling past, and a new era, a new history, will begin with the father nation, the mother nation, and representing the rest of the world, the eldest son nation, America. I pray these three nations at the center of the providence can realize the dream of a true human family under God and true world peace. Please know the realization of this dream of achieving this ideal is happening on continents around the world. On that point, I would like to say once again that Japan has an immense role in realizing world peace. I would like to conclude and pray that Heaven's eternal compassion be with Kanagawa Prefecture and this nation.

Many National Messiahs Are Here Who I Met In Places Around the World

To senior Japanese members in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

It's nice to see you. Aren't most of you national messiahs? I have been on many world tours. I am sure many national messiahs are here whom I met in the places I toured. I visited Europe when the European movement celebrated its fiftieth anniversary and I spoke of a revolution in the culture of heart.

After Jesus took the way of the cross, through resurrection by the Holy Spirit Christianity began. Christianity's two-thousand-year history developed in Europe. Christianity went through harsh persecution for 313 years. Christians waited with earnest faith for Jesus, who had said he would return. They strongly kept their faith even going through incomprehensibly harsh trials until the Roman Emperor finally recognized Christianity in AD 313.

A Covetous, Acquisitive Culture

Centered on the Italian Peninsula, Heaven then blessed Christianity, which spread through Europe to the island nation of Britain. Britain began the Atlantic Civilization Era and expanded the Christian foundation throughout the Atlantic territory.

Britain's territory was so great people said the sun never sets on the British Empire. However, they did not know Christianity's or Jesus' essence. They should have lived with true love for the sake of others, but they created a culture of taking. Today, if you go to the British Museum, you will see many displays of items reflecting cultural heritages from all around the world. They were taken from those other cultures. This is not Christianity's true nature. Yet, through True Parents, I opened Cheon Il Guk and I spoke of the Pacific Rim Civilization. I said the Pacific Rim Civilization must spread with Korea, Japan and America at its center. The culture of heart revolution!

Since the Fall, human beings have tried to reach Heaven through their original hearts. We can see this if we look at the ancient civilization of Egypt. People then knew that the afterlife in the spiritual world was greater than life on earth. Four thousand five hundred years ago, how could they move such large, heavy stones through the desert and build pyramids taller than a hundred and forty meters? Have you considered this before? We could say they pursued the future life in the eternal world more ardently than they did life in their physical bodies.

People Today Are Lost

Fallen people today are not the same. In their original hearts, they wish to live good lives but their bodies do not listen. Therefore, Heaven allowed religion, which could save humankind and guide us in the direction of good, to exist. Four great religions exist today. Yet, these religions have continued until now with ideologies established two thousand years ago. They must change. In the new era, we must change to new clothes. We cannot enter a new era, a new age of history, the era of Cheon Il Guk, wearing the same worn rags.

Reminiscences

Seeing your faces, I am remembering many things from the past. I see Dr. Kuboki and Rev. Sudo here. They are long-time members. Mr. Kuboki had been the Japanese church president, but he has passed away. I have many fun stories about Mr. Kuboki. He loved me very much, and I loved Dr. Kuboki very much too.

Meaning of the Mother Nation

After Father's Seonghwa, I began a new era. I opened all the doors so you can remain citizens of Cheon Il Guk until the end. You must clearly know the providence. Jesus said he would return and hold the marriage banquet of the Lamb. God's only son was born but God only daughter wasn't there, so Jesus could not hold the banquet. Christianity had to make a foundation of devotion to give birth to God's only daughter.

Through God's only daughter, a new providential history developed. I was born in 1943. In 1945, Korea was liberated. Japan had committed many wrongdoings. With liberation, Korea divided into north and south. The Korean War began and Japan, the defeated nation, did not even think to compensate the nations she had damaged due to the war. At the time, Japan went through economic revival because of the American and UN troops. This means Heaven gave them the opportunity to become wealthy. According to God's principle of creation, what should you do with that? You cannot insist it is yours. You must practice a life expressing true love by living for the sake of others. That is Heaven's blessing. The ones who enlightened us about this are the True Parents.

Heaven blessed the Eve nation at the center of the providence as the mother nation. This is a tremendous blessing for Japan. The politicians and citizens of this nation, which received this miracle-like blessing, must know this.

A mother gives and continues to give without holding back for her children. She gives of herself. As mothers, they do not say, Children, bring everything, all the good things, to me. There are parents in this world who are like this, but Japan, which stands at the center of the providence, has responsibilities and must not be negative. You must not think it is difficult. All you senior blessed family members, who are like my old friends, thank you for living well and in good health. I said this yesterday, but you must fulfill your responsibilities until the last day of your life. To fulfill that responsibility, the first thing is the responsibility as tribal messiahs. It makes me happy and grateful that Dr. and Mrs. Kuboki were Japan's first successful heavenly tribal messiahs. This is something to be proud of.

Senior blessed families! Those in the twelve-couple blessing group must become the model. You must get rid of "self." You must throw away self-centeredness. A song I like recently goes, "I threw away my greed so happiness now comes to me."

In the past, Adam and Eve fell because of their greed. Your life of faith is also the same. Saying, I worked so hard in the past for the church so I should receive compensation means you want to make it yours.

That is greed. If you are thinking like that, throw those thoughts away. I hope you will be beautiful senior blessed families who live successful lives until the end.

Originally, God established the laws of nature and then created all things

To members at a welcoming event in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Are you happy to see me? After the fifth anniversary of True Father's Seonghwa, I told the top leaders that we cannot waste even a minute or second until 2020. You are responsible for realizing True Parents and Heavenly Parents' dream of one human family!

Originally, God established the laws of nature and then created all things in heaven and on earth. Lastly, God created a man and a woman. All things live according to the laws of nature; therefore, their essence has not changed over time. However, God gave people responsibility. They must go through the growth period to receive the blessing from God.

Christian History

Christians had the responsibility to find God's only daughter. Heaven established a new people and a new nation who could give birth to God's only daughter and continue the providence. Heaven's providence centered on the Korean Peninsula.

God's only daughter was born on a Christian foundation in 1943. Then, in 1945, Korea's liberation occurred. With liberation, Korea divided -- north and south -- along the lines of communism and democracy. Communism had already taken Russia and China, which had been Allied Powers. In those circumstances, I was born in northern Korea and my life was in danger. Heaven had to protect me until I could grow and fulfill my responsibility. Thus, I traveled to southern Korea.

Effects of the Korea War

Even though Korea was unknown to the world, sixteen UN nations mobilized. In that way, the Korean War became a holy war. Good people spilled blood to protect God's only daughter. In the Korean War, while American troops were in Japan, Japan, which ought to have compensated Korea for damages, experienced economic revival. Japan received a blessing, heavenly fortune. From whom? It was because of God's only daughter, True Parents. True Parents embraced Japan with love.

You must become Japanese blessed families and members who work even harder to realize True Parents' wish. Heaven placed you at the center of the providence -- the Eve nation! Even in the fallen world, a mother devotes her life to her children, giving boundless love and devotion for their happiness and success. True Parents blessed this nation as the mother nation. Then, can only you, the mother nation, live well? A mother's mission is to elevate all the nations of the world -- almost two hundred -- as True Parents' children and Heavenly Parents' children. In fulfilling that mission, you must indemnify your history and self-centered historical wrongdoings for this nation to become the central nation of a new era. For this, you should be grateful. All of you here must give until your last breath. That is the path to liberate your ancestors. You have to take responsibility for the three phases of time -- the past, present and future.

Lead the Way to Settlement

I am speaking about the settlement -- "anchak" -- of Cheon Il Guk.

The character "an" is a roof over the character for "woman." The woman is the center of the universe, of the nation, and of the family -- the mother. You must not retreat. You must be in front. Here, living in the present, you are responsible to think of the past, present, and future. The first generation, second generation and third generation have the same goal.

You have met the True Parent, who was born as God's only daughter after six thousand years. You received True Parents' blessing and you formed blessed families. Would it do for only you to receive the blessing before passing away? You must bring your tribe and all the nations to True Parents.

Japan must lead the way in that responsibility! Will you commit yourselves to realizing a world in which our second, third and future generations will not have to pay indemnity but will live free, equal, peaceful, happy lives -- in a world were all can attend Heavenly Parent and live as one happy human family, spreading that environment to restore all 7.4 billion people of the world? Thank you!

Strategic Nations and all Others Must Arise

True Parents' Special Luncheon for Leaders of Key Strategic Nations
Cheon Jeong Gung

Through three days of meetings and reports, I am sure you've learned and decided how you will move forward. People who are alive need to eat, right? We, being in charge of the providence, must take in two kinds of nourishment. On the last day of the conference, I wanted to nourish you physically. You must be full of spiritual nourishment from all you have learned. Looking at the regional group chairmen, I see all their stomachs are large. They have eaten a lot. What must you do, then? You have to run hard, right?

Work with intensity

This satanic world! It resembles a battlefield, so I will give you armor. In this age of instant communication, the providence cannot miss even one minute or one second. Do you understand? Heavenly Parent's dream, True Parents' dream is one family, the kingdom of heaven on earth. Isn't that so?

The center of that kingdom of heaven on earth is the owner, True Parents. While True Parents are still here, you must fulfill your responsibilities. Do you understand? So from True Parents, you have to be able to hear that you worked hard, that you fulfilled your responsibilities. You must receive that blessing. When I am no longer on earth, there is no one to bless you. Is that so or not? During your life, the most glorious position is one of receiving the blessing from True Parents.

If we go back to when Heavenly Parent created the universe and created Adam and Eve, God gave particularly Adam and Eve responsibilities. The time for them to fulfill their responsibilities was the growth stage. They should have grown well and realized God's dream and then received God's blessing. It was God's wish and dream to become humankind's visible true parent. He created the first man and woman, who could realize that dream. That is in the principle of creation. The world of all things did not fall. The world of all things moves according to a law of circulation, automatically without anyone having to tell it what to do. However, nature is being destroyed because of people. People have to repent. They must look at the nature and apologize.

Right now, the power of people cannot solve the phenomenon happening around the world. Even more clearly, the power of people cannot do anything about natural disasters. While True Parents are on earth, Heavenly Parent's dream, humankind's wish, has to be realized.

However, because we have been unable to do that, Heaven is punishing us. We are receiving Heaven's judgment. Why is America receiving so much damage? In Asia, China is also receiving much damage.

The reason Heaven chose America was so that Americans could make the environment for the returning Lord to realize Heavenly Parent's dream. True Parents forgave and awoke America many times, but because they are not responding, they are receiving punishment. Can you deny this?

How long has God waited? Not just the six thousand years as indicated in the Bible, but all of human history! How difficult must it have been to walk through that dark tunnel in order to raise an individual, clan, tribe and nation? Finally, a light was visible, and after four thousand years, God sent his only son; yet what happened? The people around him, those who taught Heaven's grace and heard the sound of angels, did they attend Jesus? They could not attend God's only son. He was called the son of Heaven, but he was not treated as God's son. Not only that, but they sent him to the cross.

A call to Europe

Europe must awaken. Christian culture began from Europe, so Europeans must fulfill their responsibilities. Out of all those countries, only one nation, Albania, is a strategic nation. You are falling behind Africa. You are falling behind Asia. The same is true of America. You have to wake up. You absolutely must realize the objectives you resolved to achieve this time. Do you understand? Then you must show me. The people that unite with True Parents and go forward receive these blessings from Heaven.

You must demonstrate this to the world. Will you do that? This should not end with your answer alone. You must put your life on the line and decide to take responsibility while True Parents are still alive, as blessed members and more so as leaders. I have given you spiritual nourishment and armor so you must not end up as defeated soldiers.

True Mother’s Message at the ACLC Luncheon

Cheon Jeong Gung, 10. September 2017

YOU ARE VERY EXCITED and have lots to say but At this moment, I believe you can listen to me.

We all live in a new era of the providence. The 2,000-year history of Christianity has ended and we now live in a new era, the era of Chun In Guk. Until now many of you think, "I really know God", but I do not believe that it is a level of knowledge that would satisfy God himself.

Among human beings many people have claimed that they know God but who has truly known the purpose of God's creation and the purpose of God. Until now people prayed to God asking for help, 'my son is slick' 'my son is in this situation' please help us. But how many among us has really prayed to God, heavenly parent, this is your situation, this is your heart, I want to help you. I do not believe there have been many.

God created heaven and earth and after creating all of creation he created the first man and the first woman to be the first ancestors of humanity and he said after creating them, 'it is good.' however, among all of the created beings, God gave a portion of responsibility to human beings alone. The reason why God gave Human beings a portion of responsibility is because God wanted human beings to contribute to the realization of his will. Human Beings need to contribute for God's Will to be accomplished. The portion of responsibility given to Adam and Eve was to go through a period of growth with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God during their growth.

However, Adam and Eve failed in their responsibility. They became self centered and allowed self centered greed to take over their lives. They wanted to become like God at an inappropriate time and therefore they fell into a position where they had no relationship whatsoever with God. That is the Human Fall.

God wanted Adam & Eve to grow up in a healthy manner and God wanted them to receive His Blessing with God's dominion allowing Adam & Eve to receive the blessing. In other words, the dream of Heavenly Parent and the wish of God was to become the first ancestor by living with Adam & Eve as they became perfected and in that position God would be the first ancestor and be visible as the True Parent of humanity. That is the Principle of God's creation. God is almighty and omnipotent. There can be no failure with God.

Therefore, I hope that you can understand that until now the reality of God hasn't been an almighty ruler sitting on a throne of gold and exercising his authority. The situation of God has been one of endless suffering, misery and pain.

Even though human beings have fallen, Gods Principle of Creation dictates that even among fallen human beings a perfected man and a perfected woman must appear and together they must receive the Blessing of God and fulfill God's Ideal of Creation.

Since fallen human beings cannot go directly back to God, God began the long arduous history of the Providence of Restoration Through Indemnity. In order to fulfill his providence God raised a virtuous people and virtuous nation, the nation of Israel. Please thing about it, how painful, arduous and miserable the history of the providence of restoration must have been for God to go from the individual and raise an entire people and raise an entire nation it took 4,000 biblical years. For the first time in 4,000 years, God sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ.

However, what happened? What did the central figures of the time do? Mary, Zechariah's family, the Jewish leaders of the time and the Israelites of the time. In other words, just to conclude, they failed in their responsibility. The only begotten son, Jesus Christ came for the first time in 4,000 years and since God created one man and one woman, the only begotten daughter was to be found. Mary, who had the responsibility of finding the bride of Jesus, the only begotten daughter, failed in her responsibility.

If you go into a Catholic Cathedral you see that the Catholic Church reveres Mary as the Holy Mother, even though she failed in her responsibility. She is the key person why Jesus had to go the path of the cross.

The truth is that the people in the vicinity of Jesus, the people who should have laid the foundation for Jesus to victoriously carry out his mission failed to lay that foundation, therefore, having nowhere to stand Jesus had no choice but to walk the miserable path of the cross. Therefore, once again humanity was responsible for a terrible act of un-filial piety before God. Why? Because they sent the person who came to be the True Parent, to the cross. That is the 2,000-year history of Christianity that we see today.

Christianity until today has not known the essence. As he lay on the cross Jesus prophesied that he would come again. Jesus said, I will come again to host the Holy Wedding of the Lamb. Since Jesus is coming again to host the Holy Wedding of the Lamb he cannot res turn in the spirit he needs to come in a physical body to host this Holy Wedding.

I could speak for hours but the conclusion is that the only begotten daughter of God was born among the Korean people and the OBD together with the OBS who fulfills his responsibility will together hold the Holy Wedding of the Lamb and they are the True Parents standing before you.

What you need to remember, particularly today is that when a particular individual or a nation fails to fulfill the heavenly mandate or responsibility, heaven does not work with that person or nation again. The reason is that that person or nation which fails their responsibility then they must pay indemnity.

We know through history for 2,000 years the people of Israel were a nation with no land to call their own and during WW2 6 million were mercilessly and brutally massacred. Why would this happen? I believe that even today the people of Israel remain ignorant of this. The sin of leading the son of God to the cross is truly a great sin. This is the historical truth.

You are all spiritual leaders and before this fallen world you are absolutely necessary. However, what you need to remember is the appropriate time. A person who lives in a country where there is no summer, only winter, if that person moves to a different climate and welcomes winter with summer clothes that person will freeze to death.

In the Bible, it is written you must pour new wine into new wine skins. Because Israelite people were nomadic for such a long period of time maybe that is where this expression came from. Nevertheless, today all of you who are spiritual shepherds to your flock, now that you stand before the new truth please let go of old vestiges, take off the old clothes and wear the new clothes of truth.

Do you understand?

When we look at nature which committed no sin before God it is following the Principle of Creation. However, due to the acts of fallen human beings even nature is suffering. If you look at the world today you can see many natural cataclysms happening throughout the world. For example, in China there were a lot of devastation because of climate issues. America has suffered a lot because of hurricanes and typhoons. Why did this happen? As human beings, we need to know how to fear (feel?) God. We need to truly know God.

We cannot make the Ideal of God with manmade structures or manmade systems alone. Please think about it.

How many of you know about the monarch butterfly? During the winter, the monarch butterflies will migrate all the way from Canada to Mexico, a 5,000-mile journey and the wingspan of the monarch butterfly is less than 4 inches. So, who talk the monarch butterfly how to migrate? When you look at nature you can see that nature knows the truth, nature knows God's Principle while human beings still remain ignorant. Therefore, we need to look at and learn from nature about God.

We live in a new era. Thanks to True Parents we live in an era of Chun Il Guk. However, God is the original owner of this cosmos and the reason God cannot have proper dominion over the entire cosmos he created is because of human beings.

Human beings need to truly know.
